    This sounds weird but sometimes when I feel overwhelmed I'll go back and watch these old US history videos, John is such a great guy and I originally watched these at a much simpler time in my life

    Ah yes, Late-night cramming the day before the APUSH exam is a most joyous pass time in which sleep eludes you and the feeling of unpreparedness slips away in a bought a euphoria as you listen to the melodious voice of John Green.

    Watching this series has helped me appreciate how recent all of these events and changes have taken place. The causes and effects feel obviously connected to my life in a way I couldn't appreciate before. All of this makes me incredibly excited and terribly nervous for the not yet written history of our nation and the world.

    This is seriously one of my favorite era's of American history. I spent my senior year with my interdisciplinary party hat on discussing the Art, Economics, and Social history (three different seminars!) of this era, so it was great to touch on the politics that I didn't quite get to delve into. Plus I absolutely LOVE political cartoons! Great episode, one of my favorites.

      The US tends to go through rises and falls of equality. It's well established we're in a second gilded age by most economists like Krugman. The reason why we're in a second gilded age is due to capital accumulation from automation and labor saving technologies, the same thing that happened in the industrial age. Only this time, we're experiencing rising inequality from the computer and AI revolutions. It will likely end in another great depression. Bubbles can't last forever and eventually pop.

    I'm watching this because my U.S teacher easily forgets if he's teaching his AP class or not, so either way, we all get an AP student's education.

    We read Plunkitt of Tammany Hall in my freshman year of college. There are a lot of parallels between their type of politics and our... Citizens United era of political history.

    Mr. Green! Mr. Green!
    The points you make to your "past self" regarding the humanities, history in specific, and the lifelong commitment to continual education that is necessary to ensure that a person is adequately knowledgeable and a well rounded human being functioning confidently and independently in our society at large, among many, many others, are well observed on your part and, apparently, eventually very well learned on his. With all of that said and duly considered, Ifeel that I need to point out that, in my view, the apparent harshness, derision, and, occasionally, even cold condescension that you level upon your younger (and by consequence less experienced, wise, and even tempered) self seems to speak volumes about how you think of the person who you used to be and who, in fact, eventually helped to make you into who you are.
    I like to think that I get it, of course; it's a bit, after all, and isn't meant to offer fodder for lazy and untrained psychoanalysis. What it's ACTUALLY meant to do, so far as I can work out (as a former professional facilitator), is two-fold. First and foremost, the bit allows you, whenever you choose, to establish a comedic tone early in the episode or to bring to bear some necessary comic relief with Young John's appearances closer to the end of episodes. The second thing that the bit accomplishes, which is quite practical and well thought out (and which demonstrated to me not only your prowess as an educator, but also your impressive fundamental understanding of how to best utilize your chosen medium of UA-cam), is that it gives your high school student, classroom audiences a character within the world of the show that they are given to understand that they can relate to, and he is generally presented both near the beginnings and the endings of episodes. The very first time I saw this in action I realized that if you are at all successful at getting your viewers to relate to your Young John, it will serve to draw them in by leading the viewers to imagine themselves sharing a classroom with YJ. This, in turn, strongly strengthens the effect which you already create when you talk directly down the barrel of the camera, the effect that you are speaking directly to each individual viewer on her or his own. In the end, these choices, which I have to assume were given strong thought before being implemented, layer together to create the feeling or notion that the viewer is in an energetic but attentive classroom environment being instructed by an EXCELLENT teacher that is, somehow, providing each and every pupil with his full and undivided attention. This is just one of the many facets of your productions that clearly show me how good you are at what you do.
    Thank you for all of the excellent videos and the education! Please keep it up!
